BTS American Love Story *COMPLETED*

Part 30

Suga's POV:

"The merch looks great," I hold up one of the shirts, I look at Claire and put the shirt in front of her. "I think you'll look great in this." "Really?" "Yeah. You should wear it tonight." "I'm supposed to be dressed professional tonight, manager-" "But your filming the show, I think you be cute if you dressed as a fan." She blushes at that and I smile to myself. "Please?" She grabs the shirt, "okay. I will. Since you like seeing me cute." I pull on her waist and she looks up at me. "What do you like seeing me as?" She blushes more and puts her face on my chest and I laugh. "What?" She mumbles something, "come on Claire. You don't need to be embarrassed." She mumbles again. "What is that?" "Sexy," she squeaks and I grin. "Claire, look up at me."  She slowly looks up at me and I just give her a sexy grin. She squeals and runs off, she's so cute. "Why you gotta embarrass your girlfriend like that?," Jimin asks. "I think she's adorable like that." "You ready for the show tonight?" "Of course, I've been wanting to perform for a long time. And this time, Claire will actually be able to see us. She told me she had nose bleed seats last time." "Do you think that fans will recognize her?" "I really hope not. I want her to be in merch tonight, including the hat, so that it covers her face a bit." "How about the fan mask." "That too." I really don't want people to recognize her tonight.

"Why do you want me to wear all of this?" "It's my first time actually seeing you in our merch besides the flannel. I think you look great." Everyone is warming up and stretching. She's wearing her black Converse, high waist shorts, our new shirt, hat, and the mask. Hopefully no one can recognize her. She gets her camera equipment ready and bounces a bit. "This venue is huge. I'm getting my exercise tonight to be able to film you guys." "I know you'll do great. Can I have a kiss for good luck?" She pulls the mask down and she lets me pull her towards me. "Okay, here I come." I lean down and softly kiss her. I decided to tell her when I'm going to kiss her for now on so she doesn't freak out as much. "Are you okay?" "Yeah, I am." She quickly pulls her mask up and goes shy. I wish she wasn't so shy with me, I know she wasn't always like that with him. "Five minutes!," someone yells. "What did they say?" "Five minutes. You might want to go get in your first spot. Do you know where we're starting?" "Yeah. See you out there." She runs off and I let out a deep breath. "Stay safe Claire."

We just finished Baepsae, and the crowd is freaking out. Now for our next song, which is Boy In Luv. I see Claire right in front of us, she's been working so hard and I've been making sure she can get a great shot of me. "I think we should bring someone up," J-Hope says. "Who?," I ask. J-Hope smiles down at Claire and she quickly shakes her head. He walks to the edge of the stage, kneels down, and holds out his hand for her. "Come on, you killed this dance when you first showed me it," he says in English for her. "Who wants to see our newest crew member dance with us!?," Namjoon yells into his mic and everyone screams. Claire finally grabs his hand and he pulls her up. She sets her camera equipment down and runs over to us. "I can't believe you guys are making me do this." "You'll do great, we're here with you." "I also wanted to have a girl up here for the first time during this song," J-Hope says in the mic and everyone freaks out. We quickly get in our positions and the music plays. Claire keeps up with us perfectly, I didn't know how well she knew this dance. When the part comes, I quickly position her in the middle, just in time for the guys to sing to her. I wish I was singing to her, but what can I do. The song finally ends and she hugs me tightly. "Okay, you can get back to work," Namjoon says in his mic and she laughs.

Claire's POV:

I can't believe that the guys had me come on stage with them! One of my dreams was to dance with them, I didn't think that would ever actually happen. The show is over and manager wanted me to go outside so that I can check on how security is. Just to make sure that the guys will be safe when they leave. I step outside, the wind automatically hitting me. The wind must have picked up during the show. I walk around for a while, shit, I think I came out the wrong way. "Ugh..." I make my way around and I see large groups of girls who are now leaving. The big gust of wind hits me and it blows off my hat. I try to catch it but it's no use. "Shit. No time to find it, I need to find the right exit for the guys," I mumble. I keep walking and I notice a lot of girls are staring at me. I ignore them and keep walking. I hear some people whisper and it causes me to finally stop. I slowly look at them, "can I help you all?" "It's her!!!," a girl screams. This gets the attention of the other groups and they all look at me. They start screaming and run towards me. I run off, why does this venue have to be huge!? I don't even know where I'm going and where I have to go!! Why did manager give me this job!? 

I keep running, they're still screaming and running after me. I look behind me, they're still coming. I look ahead and see another group running towards me. I end up tripping and I fall forward. I groan when I hit the ground and they quickly surround me. I try to stand up but they push me back down with their feet. "Why are you doing this!?" They're screaming at me, they're angry, and I have no idea what they're saying. I take deep breaths and close my eyes. Remember what Suga and RapMon said... Take deep breaths and close my eyes.. I keep doing that until I feel something hit me. I open my eyes and see that it's a ball of paper. I pick it up and open it up. I stare at it. A picture of Suga and I kissing at the airport. Under it is a picture of us at the park from our date. How do they have this!? How do they know!? One girl dumps a soda on me and I cover my head. Someone dumps something else on me. "Please stop!" And out of no where, a shoe gets thrown at my head. I hold my head and groan in pain. More stuff gets thrown at me and I try to cover my head the best I can. I close my eyes and take deep breaths. They keep screaming and throwing stuff at me. Please stop.. Please stop.. "PLEASE STOP!," I scream. 

"Claire!!," I hear a girl scream. I feel someone touch me and I jump. I look up at her but I can't recognize her. "Claire, it's me. Aruem. We met at the meet up." "Oh my god. I can't believe you recognized me." "And I can't believe that this is happening to you." More stuff is being thrown and she hugs me to block it. "You don't have to do this." "Yes I do. You deserve to be happy, and if that's dating Suga, then so be it." "Thank you Aruem...." I finally hear police whistles and everyone breaks apart. A cop reaches us and he holds out his hand. I grab his hand and he helps me up. "What's going on here?" "I'll explain everything Claire, because I saw it happen." "Thanks..." Areum starts talking to him, and every once in a while she would ask me to explain something and she would translate for me. "Come along miss, I'll walk you inside." "Thank you. And thank you so much Areum." "It's not a problem." I walk off with the officer, away from everything.

Suga's POV:

"Claire!! What happened to you!?," Tae yells. I look up and see Claire walk in, drenched and dirty. I run over to her, her head is hanging forward. "Claire, what happened to you? We were wondering what was taking you so long." "How long have you known..." "What are you talking about?" She looks up at me and holds up a piece of paper. I stare at it and her hand starts shaking. "How long have you known, that people knew about us," her voice cracks. "Claire, I didn't want you to know..." "Why?" "Because I wanted to keep you safe..." "If you had told me, I would have been more aware of going outside. But it's too late now." She runs off, "CLAIRE!" "Just let her go for now, she's confused and trying to figure out everything," Namjoon tells me. "Yeah... You're right.."

Claire's POV:

I find a spot side stage, sit down, hug myself, and finally start crying. If Suga had just told me people knew about us, I could have watched myself more. But instead, I been going outside in danger. And it's happened twice now. "Suga I wish you told me!," I cry out. "Claire." I freeze at that voice. "Hey." I slowly look up and stare at him in shock. I shake my head and back away from him. "G-get away from me." "Claire I have to talk to you about this-" "Get away from me!" He quickly grabs my arms and pulls me up. "Let go!" "Claire, this is important. I need to talk to you about how this-" "Just please stop!" I push on his chest and he lets go of me. "Just please leave me alone," I cry. "I'm sorry this happened to you. But I came to tell you how this might have happened." "Just please leave..." He steps closer to me and lets out a sigh. "Okay. But just let me tell you one more thing. When we were dating, I made sure it stayed a secret. I made sure that you were fully safe. But now, since it's over, I think someone is trying to hurt you. And I don't know why." Mark finally walks away and I drop to the ground. "What the fuck is going on," I mumble and close my eyes.
